Thanks a Bunch

Tonight I've got a sweet and simple little card for you using the June Stamp of the Month.  You know, any time I see a clean and simple sketch or challenge, I try very hard to play along.  It is truly a challenge for me to be clean and simple!  My dear friend and team member Lynn is the guest designer for The Kraft Journal, and that is what they are looking for this week.  I found a great sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch, so I used that, too.

Along with kraft cardstock, I used some Clementine scraps and a jute.   If you like Clementine, be sure to get yours ordered!  It retires as of July 31st, so when it's gone, it's gone!

Thanks for stopping in and visiting me!  I love it when you do!

Thanks a Bunch

I am back again today with another card.  I found a great sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and I wanted to give it a go.

I so loved putsing over this card and decided to make one for each of my team members that completes my May challenge.  Let me tell you how I made it.  This is the June Stamp of the Month (so you are getting a peek!), and I stamped the flower garden image with olive pigment ink.  From there, I colored the flowers and leaves with alcohol markers.  I used pear, ruby, sorbet, lagoon, blush, and gypsy.  I grabbed my texture tools and used the sea foam with pear ink to make the grass and the stipple brush with sky ink to create the sky.  The strip of green paper is from Chantilly, and I've added washi tape and silver shimmer trim.

I hope you've been having a great week!

A Little Bit of Spring

Even though we have a ways to go till we hit spring here in Minnesota, I thought I'd bring you a little spring with Chantilly.  You'll find this paper starting February 1st on my website!

I didn't know which card I wanted to share with you, so you are getting both of them!  Those lovely sentiments are from a Stamp of the Month you will see in June called A Flowering Bunch.  I will be the first to admit that I am not very good at creating with pastel colors.  But once I added the rich Ruby color, I felt at home again.  So next time you are working with a color that just doesn't sync with you, try adding one of your favorite colors to see if that brings it all together for you!

See you tomorrow for a little sneak peek into Tommy and some great masculine/summer colors!
